iamlibertarian Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 I read the previous Transform vs Focus question and replies, but said topic was about a specifically created attack on foci. My question is more broad: What can Transform (especially Major or Severe) do to a focus? 1) Breakable Foci: since Transform does no body damage, how is any Transform against them calculated? Is it any different than a Transform against any other object? 2) Unbreakable Foci: can it do anything at all to them at all? If so, how? Thanks!

Chris Goodwin Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 1. A focus is probably considered to have a number of BODY for Transformation purposes equal to the Active Points of the highest point power divided by 5, plus one for each additional power in it. Pretty much the way a breakable Focus's effective PD/ED score is determined. We really need a better way, by the way. 2. Probably depends on common sense, dramatic sense, special effects. I don't think an Unbreakable Focus is necessarily un-Transformable, but it depends. The average wizard wouldn't be able to Transform Mjolnir, but the Beyonder probably would. iamlibertarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Goodwin Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Actually it occurs to me that Transforming a Focus is probably more properly a Transform against its owner. If it's an ordinary object with its own BODY score, just use that. iamlibertarian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamlibertarian Posted October 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Thanks, Chris! Both answers are very helpful. If I can ever find a local game, if the GM doesn't already have a solution, I can at least propose these. DC Chris Goodwin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
